hi im 22 yrs old. my cyst measures 4.5 x 3.1 when a mth ago it measured 4.2 x 3.7cm i believe its a complex cyst too and im in birthcontrol.... i hope mine disappears on its own but surgery is unstoppable for what my gyn has told me...
thanx wil let you know how i go. i only just finished treatment for breast cancer 6 months ago. had double mastectomy and chemo and radiation, so am a bit worried that this large complex cyst with septations might be cancer
I too had complex cysts (with solid mass), one was 5cm and there were two others on the same ovary that were 3 & 4cm.
I saw two specialists and one wanted to try shrinking the cysts with Lupron (endometriosis treatment that throws you into a temporary menopause) and the other wanted to do surgery. I opted for surgery and had it done last Friday.
Most friends that i talked to in the health industry and doctors in general felt that removal was the best course of action. My recovery has been going well and I'm glad that i decided to have the cysts removed. My ca-125 was extremely elevated so i had to have surgery no matter what - it was just whether i'd leave the cysts in or not.
Good luck!
It can resolve, or it may just be in a place now that it is not causing as much pain. Unless a cyst is adheared to other organs it can move freely (at least that is what I have heard). I have a 5.25cm cyst. I know some days I hurt very badly, others just a nagging pain, and then other days I don't hurt at all. I'm glad you are not in as much pain. Please let us know what you find out at the doctors
That's big and a candidate for surgery. It can resolve, yes, if it does not present much solid mass.
